Urinary excretion rates of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha in preterm infants recovering from respiratory distress with and without patent ductus arteriosus.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Toll-like receptor (TLR)-mediated inflammation may contribute to neonatal sepsis, for which pentoxifylline (PTX), a phosphodiesterase inhibitor that raises intracellular cAMP, is a candidate adjunctive therapy. We characterized the anti-inflammatory effects of PTX toward TLR-mediated production of inflammato...
